This self-guided walking
tour of the Trinity College
campus takes approximately 45 minutes, but
please allow more time
if possible. You’ll find
appealing spots along the
way where you may want
to linger a bit.
The tour begins at the front
entrance of the Admissions
and Career Development
Center [1], which also
houses the Financial Aid and
Internship offices. Ahead of
you, on your right at the top
of the rise, is the President’s
House [61], the traditional
home of Trinity’s president and
the setting for many College
events. Smith House [60], the
sunny yellow building to the
right of the President’s House,
has four guest rooms and several
function rooms available to
visitors by reservation. Next
door is the three-story Victorian
academic building that is home
to the English Department
[59]. A few steps farther is
The Bistro, Koeppel Student
Center [58], which offers a
delicious alternative to Mather
Dining Hall. Stop in for a cup
of coffee or a light snack across
the street at Vernon Social
[67], and check out this newly
renovated vibrant campus hot
spot.
To your left, the archway
of Downes Memorial Clock
Tower [3] is a gateway to the
Main Quadrangle and the
beginning of your walking tour.
As you start, you will observe
a characteristic feature of the
Trinity campus—the harmonious and imaginative blending
of 19th-, 20th-, and 21stcentury architecture.
As you walk through the
Downes Arch, you enter the
Main Quad. With its brownstone buildings dating back to
1878, this is the oldest part of
campus. The Quad’s parklike
expanse provides panoramic
views of downtown Hartford
and the Connecticut River
Valley. The Chapel [2], directly
on your left, is a center for
interfaith dialogue as well as
a beloved Hartford landmark.
Completed in 1932, the
structure was designed in the
English Perpendicular Gothic
style by Philip Frohman,
architect of the National
Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Particularly noteworthy
elements of the Chapel include
the Rose Window, hand-carved
pew ends, the majestic Austin
pipe organ, and a 49-bell
carillon housed in the 163-foot
tower.
Now turn to the right and
begin your stroll down the Long
Walk, considered to be Trinity’s
architectural masterpiece. Its
design was adapted from a
grand, four-quadrangle plan
for the campus drawn up by
noted English architect William
Burges. The newly restored and
renovated Long Walk buildings
house classrooms and residence
halls, as well as faculty and
administrative offices. Jarvis
Hall [5] and Seabury Hall [7],
the oldest buildings on campus,
were completed in 1878.
According to architectural
historian Henry Russell
Hitchcock, the Long Walk—
the only example of Burges’s
work in America—is “the best
example anywhere of Victorian
Gothic collegiate architecture.”
On your way down the Long
Walk, look for two markers
commemorating presidential
visits. The 1954 visit by
President Dwight D.
Eisenhower is noted in a Greek
inscription within a triangular
planting in front of Downes
Memorial Clock Tower. The
second marker, commemorating the 1918 visit of President
Theodore Roosevelt, is midway
down the Long Walk and
adjacent to the Fuller Arch and
the Wall of Honor. The Latin
inscription is embedded
in the sidewalk in front of
Northam Towers [6]. Each
president gave a speech and
was presented with an honorary
degree from the College.
Notice how the trees on the
quadrangle are arranged in the
form of a “T” for Trinity. Most
of the original elms succumbed
to Dutch elm disease and have
been replaced by ash or maple
trees. But the elms live on
through the Trinity College
alma mater, “’Neath the Elms,”
which is sung at the President's
Convocation, Matriculation,
Commencement, Reunion,
and other occasions.

The bronze statue at the base
of the “T” is of Bishop Thomas
C. Brownell. One of the
Episcopalian founders of Trinity
in 1823, Brownell was the
College’s first president.
Commencement ceremonies
are held each May in front of
the Brownell statue, which was
created by Chauncey Ives of
Rome and received by the
College in 1869. Although
Trinity’s roots are grounded in
the Episcopal faith, the College
is an independent, nonsectarian
institution that welcomes
students of all backgrounds,
faiths, and religious traditions.
Just past Seabury Hall, you
will find the Hamlin Hall [8]
entrance to the offices of the
Dean of Students, Residential
Services, and Multicultural
Affairs.
Cinestudio [11] is situated
at the southeast corner of the
Long Walk, in the Clement
Chemistry Building [11].
The first and only student-run
professional movie theater in
the country, Cinestudio began
operating in 1970. With its
balcony, red-and-gold decor,
and signature rampant lion,
Cinestudio has the feel of an
old-time movie palace. It draws
not only Trinity students but
also a faithful following of
moviegoers from the Greater
Hartford area.
When you follow the short
path around the Clement
Chemistry Building, you will
come to the Raether Library
and Information Technology
Center [12], one of the
finest small-college facilities
in the country. The library has
more than 1.2 million books
and periodicals, an online
catalog, and computer access
to almost 2,000,000 holdings
through a consortium with
Wesleyan University and
Connecticut College. Rare
book and archival resources
are available in the Watkinson
Library, which is located on
the lower level and is open to
researchers from the general
public. The Watkinson contains
materials from the Middle Ages
to the present, including the
Enders ornithology collection.
The technology center
features an array of state-of-theart electronic resources such as
digital media labs for viewing
and production, multimedia
stations, videoconferencing
capabilities, and fully wireless study spaces. Information
Technology Services is also
located here, providing
technical support for the fully
networked campus, including
all student rooms in residence
halls. The Raether Center was
designed by the internationally
acclaimed architectural firm
of Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna
and Blumberg.
Next, please walk south
through the archway between
Clement and GoodwinWoodward Hall [10].
As you emerge from the arch,
you will enter the newly
redesigned Gates Quad. To
your left, you will see Austin
Arts Center [13]. Dedicated
to serving the teaching and
presentation needs of academic
departments in the performing
and visual arts, the center hosts
more than 80 theatrical, dance,
and musical performances each
season. Exhibitions by students,
faculty members, and professional artists are on display in
the Widener Gallery during
the academic year.
On your right is Mather
Hall [14], bordering on
Summit Street. This hub of
student life contains the
College’s main dining hall,
as well as administrative offices
for many student organizations.
Here, you’ll also find the
campus information desk, a
full-service post office, The
Cave Café, and the College
Bookstore.
To the east, behind Austin
Arts Center, is Ferris Athletic
Center [42-44], a large
complex extending to the Broad
Street side of campus. Ferris
has an Olympic-size swimming
pool; the best collegiate squash
facilities in the country, with
eight international-size courts
and eight American-size courts;
a fully equipped exercise room;
crew tanks; an indoor track;
basketball courts; and a field
house. Adjacent to Ferris are 19
acres of playing fields for soccer,
lacrosse, field hockey, and
baseball, as well as the multi-
purpose Robin L. Sheppard
Field [50] and the 6,500 seat
Dan Jessee/Don Miller
Football Field and Track [49].
As you return from Ferris
toward the interior of the
campus, you will come to
Hallden Hall [18] on the
left. Hallden is home to the
Fine Arts Department.
Behind Hallden Hall you
will find the Albert C. Jacobs
Life Sciences Center [40],
named after Trinity’s 14th
president. This building houses
biology, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology classrooms,
faculty offices, and laboratories.
You’ll pass the botany lab and
adjoining greenhouse at the
building’s southwestern corner.
Look closely at the large stones
placed outside the northwest
and southwest sides of the Life
Sciences Center, and you will
discover fossilized dinosaur
tracks.
To the right of the Life
Sciences Center is the Roy Nutt
Mathematics, Engineering
& Computer Science Center
(Nutt Center) [29], designed
by noted architect Cesar Pelli
and home to modern electrical,
mechanical, and biomedical
labs, as well as the optical
diagnostics and communications lab. Trinity is one of just
a handful of top liberal arts
colleges that offers degrees in
engineering.
Just west of the Nutt Center
are the College’s Summit Suites
[24-26], designed by worldrenowned architect William
Rawn.
Behind the Life Sciences
Center are the new Crescent
Street Townhouses [35-39].
The walking tour of campus
concludes at this point,
but we hope your connection
to Trinity College is just
beginning.
